. s (cl. 51 -211) This invention relates to a combination of partsadapted for usein sharpening razor blades, knife blades, scissors or thelike adapted jointly for'use as a kit to hold a lightweight cup orshaving mug to minimize the danger of upsetting, and which cup or mug inturn may hold a safety razor, tube of shaving cream, a shaving brush orother accessories, when not in use. One of the sections of the devicepreferably contains compartments for holding safety razor blades. 1 v

The more speciflc objects and advantages will become apparent from aconsideration of the description following taken in connection withaccompanying drawing illustrating an operative embodiment.

In said drawing:-

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device with one of the end capsremoved;

Figure 2 is a side elevation, and

Figure 3 is a substantially central longitudinal sectional View. YReferring speciflcally to the drawing wherein like reference charactersdesignate like or similar parts, two sharpener sections are employed atit and I I, separate from each other, having concave cylindricalsurfaces at l2 and I3, respec-v tively. Such surfaces l2 and I8,collectively provide a round space or well for holding a cup or shavingmug, of light material, such as of aluminium, bakelite, hard rubber orthe like. Such cup in turn may hold a safety razor. a tube of shavingcream and a shaving brush or other accessories. when not in use. Toinsure registry of said walls I! and II, the sections Ill and II- haveoverlapping or interengaging flanges at opposite sides thereof as at Mand I! respectively.

Said sections l0 and II are normally held together by removable endcapsll having continuous flanges l1 whose inner wall conforms to theexterior shape of the sections. These caps l6 maybe made of glass, metalor any'suitable material.

Reverting to the sections lo and II, they are made of any material whichwill strop, hone, "or

sharpen metal-edge tools. They may, for instance, be made of glass, orof even more abradant material if desired. For instance the surface I3is adapted to hone flexible razor blades while the surface If is adaptedto strop such flexible razor blades. Straight edged razors or knives,usually non-flexible, may be sharpened on the flat surface I 8 ofsection It, such surface honing the blade or knife. A coarser sharpeningsurface for knives or the like is provided at the flat surface is of;the section H.

At the sides of the sections, they are longitudinally grooved or cutawayas at 20. to provide surfaces for sharpening scissorsor the like, the

edge on the scissors when the blades are mov back and forth in thespaces 20.

The section II is preferably provided with one or more compartments asat 2| to retain razor blades or the like. Both of the caps it may bereadily removed or just one of them removed, and in addition, thesections it and H may be separated and individually used. I r

The device may be used especially in a position with either thesurfacesII or It resting on a table, the weight of the device usually beingsufficient to maintain the same-in operative position. In addition, thedevice can easily be held in the hand during I the acts' of honing,stropping or sharp ning. i Various changes may be resorted to providedthey fall within the spirit andscope of the invention.

I claim as my invention:- 1. A device of the class described comprisingseparable sharpening sections, said sections havsame having the properbevel to give the ing communicating cutaway spacesadapted to retain areceptacle, the walls in said spaces being sharpening surfaces,interfltting projections on said sections, and grooves on the sides ofsaid sections to facilitate sharpening of special instruments.

2. A device of the class described comprising separable sharpeningsections, said sections having communicating cutaway spaces adapted toretain a receptacle, the walls in said spaces being sharpening surfaces,interfltting projections on said sections, and grooves on the sides ofsaid sections to facilitate sharpening of special instruments, and .endcaps telescopically engaging said sections. v

3. A device of the class described comprising interflttingsections ofabrading material, said sections having communicating hemisphericalspaces to accommodate a receptacle, the walls in said spaces serving forsharpening purposes, and

.a removable section applied to the first mentioned section. I

4. A device of, the class described comprising interfltting sections ofabrading material, said sections having communicating hemisphericalspaces to accommodate a receptacle, the walls in said spaces serving forsharpening purposes, and

'a removable section applied to the first mentioned section, one of saidwalls beinga stropplng wall and the other being a honing, well, saidfirst, and

second sections havi flat walls one being a honing, wall-and the ot erbeing of coarser matemm. PETERSON.
